A row of five Japanese colonial era wooden dormitories on Gongzheng Street (公正街) in Douliu, Yunlin, built in 1938 to house single civil servants. The buildings feature wattle-and-daub interior walls and weatherboard cladding. Residents were relocated in 2004 and the complex was registered as a historic building the following year. Plans are underway to convert the dormitories into a guesthouse.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
